Musical Haiku 1 - Iván Ceja

I have been trying To write a haiku for you Some things I just can't do Maybe you're beyond Ancient Asian poetry Or maybe it's just me I have been trying To get this haiku just right All night for you, alright I'm through! Maybe this poem Was lost in the sauce we spilled That never got refilled I've never thought much Of formulaic verse anyway And rhymes are not my fort! I have been trying To get this haiku just right All night for you, alright I'm through! I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these trite attempts At haikus for you tonight La da dee diddum Lada da dum doo diddle Dum doo la dee do There, that's sufficient! I wrote a haiku for you! Well, I tried at least And that's not so bad I'm working here Can that be said for you? I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these trite attempts At haikus for you tonight Words don't work like Webster says They trip me up all night I'm just trying to write for you But you're hard to write down right!

I feel like I'm on one Banging on to someone Before it comes undone I'm going to eat my cake I'm gonna—, I'm gonna— (I'm gonna—) I'm going to tear up the lexicon with a hexagon and my sexy thong on No matter where your head is gone or where you're from I'ma take you on, it's not about you I'ma shake it like I'm Esteban On an autobahn with a cordless arm, and I'll see you at the after party In a pink Bugatti with an evil scar band (It's not about you) All talk, hold court, oh lord, I understood No more brick wall I'm brash and fuckin' good It's not about you, shut up It's not about me either I am my sisters keeper (Chill) It's not about you, shut up It's not about me either It's us verse the grim reaper Chill, chill, chill You look like a tortoise Your issues are enormous In my eyes your flawless I'm going to share my cake (Woo) I'm gonna—, I'm gonna— I'm gonna—, I'm gonna— Turn the radio on Drop a long kong song When the lights come on we slay the beast and we eat It's not about you I'ma kick your arse I'ma kick your arse I'ma kick your arse If you don't drop the facade I said I'll hit the mark on the head I said I'll bring you back from the dead I did all that while you were in bed And still had time to set the next trend It's not about you, shut up It's not about me either I am my sisters keeper (Chill) It's not about you, shut up It's not about me either It's us verse the grim reaper Chill, chill, chill (Woo) We make your world bang One tap, one tap, one tap What's happening Mang? We make your world bang Too much of a good thang It's time to drop You gonna take it off We gonna make it pop We're making shapes and leaving circles in the crop It's not about you, shut up It's not about me either I am my sisters keeper (Chill) It's not about you, shut up It's not about me either It's us verse the grim reaper Chill, chill, chill, chill Shut up It's not about It's not about Shut up It's not about It's not about It's not about you
